Delta Force Polaris Patrol: Unlock Desmoulins, Cost and Rewards

Polaris Patrol is a new mini-mode in Delta Force Operations. It opened on October 16, 2026 at 00:00 UTC and runs until January 26, 2027 at 02:00 UTC. You play as Desmoulins or as an Adjutant, using that identity's appearance and abilities. This guide covers how to unlock it, what it costs and what you can earn.

Quick facts

The mode shows up in the interface after the October 15 update but is not playable until the 16th. If you have connection problems after updating, restart the game. An outdated client has to update before it can connect.

How to play as Desmoulins

1. Reach Operations level 33 and unlock her dossier.
2. Complete three of its five mission branches.
3. Pay the entry cost for each run: one Security Director's Work Badge.

The badge sells for 250,000 Tekniq Alloys at the Supply Station. You can make four purchases at first, and a new purchase opportunity returns every 21 hours, up to eight stored. An opportunity lets you buy a badge, but it does not give you one, so you still need the alloys.

How to play as an Adjutant

Heavy Guard and Comms Guard are unlocked by default and do not use badges. There is one catch: your squad must include a player who has unlocked Desmoulins and can pay for her entry.

Rewards

• Performance Points come from Operations, the Director's To-Do and the Adjutant's To-Do missions. Progress through Performance Rank unlocks rewards.
• G.T.I. operators can also earn Performance Points by defeating Desmoulins' squad. Fiery Owl Hunt does not allow this.
• Desmoulins reward crates can contain a Petite Madame or a Requin Model. Rewards are random.

Other changes in the update

The October 15 update also included operator and firearm balance adjustments. Read the in-game notes for the exact numbers before you change your loadout. Earlier this month, on October 9, Delta Force added a 1v1 mode and Season Ammo.

Tips

1. Save Tekniq Alloys before level 33 so the first badge purchases do not hold you up.
2. Run with a friend who owns the Desmoulins dossier if you want to try the Adjutant side first.
3. Check your gear before you go in. Our weapon pages and operator guides cover builds, and the tier list shows which picks are strongest right now.
